Nové přístupy v oblasti kryptologie: využití biologického materiálu

Biological cryptology, a new branch of cryptology combines computer science and chemistry together. It uses biological molecules, such as DNA, RNA, PNA or proteins, or it is inspired by biological principles happening in living cells. Biological cryptology is still in the development stage, so the goal of my Master thesis is to describe existing biological cryptologic methods and to draw interest in this new field. Thus the first chapter states advantages of biological cryptology. Then three big chapters follow afterwards, describing chemical background, DNA computing and the most importantly a field of DNA cryptology. In the last chapter I summarized drawbacks which turned up while I was studying those methods and which need to be handled before biological cryptology moves from labs into our normal lives.
